in the REVERSE order
thus commie = animal
@Laucivol that's cool, atleast you're open minded to it
rational is at the top of the pyramid
So again I just have to take your word and hope companies are benevolent enough not to form monopolies.
hard to stay there when survival is at stake
And my experience of corporations is not so much.
I cannot trust a company to have my best interest at hand.
well, the problem is that a corporation MUST by law place the profit of share holders ABOVE all other concerns
Nor can I trust a sovereignty to have my best interest at hand.
thus if the company can break the law but profit more than the fine....
they are required to break the law
you see the paradox
Also yes I want to have options to skim through as my house is burning to the ground.
(Even GodManAnimalEmperor wants AnCap to make sense, by the by... but we still don't see the result as net positive versus what's before us.)
that is the one flaw with the market
cancer is a GREAT market creature
but what WILL be or what is sustainable tommorrow has no value to the market
it will consume it self if it profitable and will never realize the inevitable cliff until the fall begins
@SageTheory they will have a much harder time when there is so much competition, the free market is not kind to monopolies
that is an oxymoron
if you have COMPETITION
you have no MONOPOLY
Except we've seen that going completely hands free *is* kind to monopolies.
Rockefeller bought out all his competition. Nothing stops that in Ancap world.
The industrial revolution EG Rockefeller, Carnegie and so on shows us that.
well, not really because.... now that interest rates are artifical and money is fiat
not real capitalism
(i know, i know)
The only reason people don't do that now is anti monopoly laws otherwise they'd be more common.
(Still not arguing against it.. . once we moved to fiat currency... capitalism breaks.)
but in truth, we have changed the very basis of the mechanism that makes capitalism function
Derivatives destroy markets. Period
Besides the few that the govt doesn't crack down on
Only GOD should be able to create something from nothing
not banks
And this is true in An__CAP__, too.
@SageTheory a bigger richer company could do that but then more competition would arise
lol
and once derivatives were allowed, it became possible to PROFIT from the COLLAPSE/FAILURE of a company
